Kalapriya is making Good Trouble in collaboration with Chicago Children’s Choir!

Help us inspire civic engagement through music and stories of change through nonviolence.

Good Trouble tells the story of John Lewis, the celebrated Civil Rights Movement organizer and spiritual leader, and how he fought to make a beloved community where everyone is unconditionally loved and accepted. Diving into the activists who influenced Lewis on his journey (Mahatma Gandhi, James Lawson, Martin Luther King), as well as activists who built on the momentum of the Civil Rights Movement to advocate for other marginalized groups (Cesar Chavez, Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera) Good Trouble will teach a history that is seldom celebrated to inspire folks to get into good trouble—and change the world.

Help us reach our fundraising goal:

We are honored to have received a $15,000 grant from Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events to develop this production. We need your help to match this amount so we can bring this inspiring program to thousands of students and citizens in Chicago and beyond. 

 

Your donation will allow us to:

  • Live stream Good Trouble to students in schools who can’t attend the live performance.

  • Develop a curriculum using the stories and songs from Good Trouble that will help students go deeper into the history of nonviolent civil disobedience and start making good trouble of their own to make their world a better place. 

  • Present the recording of the program as one of our Cultural Sundays offerings which has an audience from around the world. 

  • Teach a new generation to make Good Trouble!
